This abundant supply includes thousands of tons of PVB, found in the inner layer of the glass, potentially bound for landfills. These injection moldable TPEs can be overmolded to polypropylene (PP) and come in a natural grade that can be easily colored.

These associates led to an almost immediate impact in POD and PP&S, where sales cycles are often the shortest within the company. Thermoplastic composites include these base resins, but are combined with a structural filler such as glass, wood, carbon or polymer fibers to enhance strength, rigidity and structure. We also have what we believe is the broadest composite platform of solutions, which include a full range of products from long glass and carbon fiber technology to thermoset and thermoplastic composites.

Performance Products & Solutions (PP&S) also achieved a record return on sales of 9.0%. Glasforms), a leading manufacturer of glass and carbon fiber reinforced polymers and advanced composite products. Glasforms), a leading manufacturer of glass and carbon fiber reinforced polymers and advanced composite products, with 2012 annual sales of $51.1 million.
